We've got a pair of Pacific Northwest News headlines to share with you today, both related to serious crimes with juvenile suspects. It's just what we do here, where we cull stories from newspapers, television websites and online magazines of special interest to folks right here at home.

Kelly and another of McMichael's three killers, Billy Chambers, both have been convicted of new felonies since inflicting the brain injury that led to the death of "Tuba Man" on Nov. 3, 2008.

Because all three killers were 15 when they beat McMichael, all were released after no more than 36 weeks in juvenile detention. Their sentences included credit for roughly 24 weeks they'd already spent in custody before the manslaughter sentencing.

The boy will be supervised by the juvenile probation department for one year and will have to undergo 48 hours of counseling within the next year. He's also not allowed to be around weapons and must keep up his education. He's been expelled from Armin Jahr.

He must write a letter of apology to Amina and her family, and also is under orders not to have contact with her outside of the letter.

The boy will also be required to testify against his mother and her boyfriend, who are prosecutors say are criminally liable for the child getting ahold of the gun. The couple, according to the Sun, are reportedly "on vacation in Las Vegas for a NASCAR event."
